Whether it’s making calls to revamp the Calgary Flames roster or receiving calls regarding the club’s trio of first-round selections in Sunday’s event ­— No. 6, 22 and 28 — you can bet the club’s GM is burning the cellphone minutes.

Except, apparently, if it’s regarding one of the last veterans believed to soon be traded away while the Flames are in their burn-it-to-the-ground rebuild — that being winger Michael Cammalleri.

While Feaster spoke to the media in Jersey City on Friday, it was mentioned how Cammalleri is the subject of all kinds of trade speculation.

Feaster said he’s had little interest in the winger who has one year remaining on his contract with a US$7-million salary and a cap hit of $6 million and coming off a 13-goal, 32-point season.

“If the sources that you’ve been hearing from are some of my colleagues as GMs, my number is in the directory,” Feaster said. “Give me a call.”

One day after the Flames continued the great purge of veterans by dealing away both left-winger Alex Tanguay and defenceman Cory Sarich in a four-player trade that saw right-winger David Jones and defenceman Shane O’Brien come to Calgary from the Colorado Avalanche, Feaster said he’s working to see what he can do to change the club’s roster and prospect pool.

The interest from other clubs when it comes to the Flames is their first of three first-round picks — at No. 6 — and youngsters in the system.

“While we’ve made no secret of the fact we wouldn’t mind moving up, there are a lot of other teams that would like to move up, not just into the top-five but into that top-six spot,” Feaster said. “And the problem with discussions and why there aren’t more trades to announce on our end is teams are coming after us for our young guys. They like the prospects.”

This weekend, though, the key for Feaster will be to return with a big piece for the club’s future, especially with that No. 6 pick, who the club would like to be good enough to even push this fall for a spot on the roster.

“We think that at six, there will be options for guys who can come in and compete,” Feaster said. “We’re not approaching at it from the standpoint the player we take at six has to come in and play or what a bad draft it is for us. That’s not the case.

“What we would hope is drafting in a draft that is as good as we perceive this draft to be, that with that pick at six, it’ll be a player that will come to camp and legitimately have an opportunity, given the holes on our hockey club, to step in.”

As for a few other aspects, Feaster had this to say:

On the latest surrounding goalie Miikka Kiprusoff, who’s expected to retire instead of playing in the final year of his contract, Feaster said he hasn’t been told of a final decision and isn’t pushing the club’s all-time leader in wins to make one.

“I’ve not put in him in a spot where to say I need a definitive answer. If that’s something we felt we had to do, we’d do it,” said Feaster, who has readied for the future with netminders Karri Ramo and Reto Berra coming from Europe. “If, when camp opens on Sept. 10 or 11, whatever it is, and Kipper’s there for his medical and we have four guys on the ice, that’s a good problem to have.”

On whether the team is interested in former Tampa Bay Lightning captain Vincent Lecavalier, with whom he won a Stanley Cup in 2004 and is about to be a free agent after being bought out of his contract, Feaster said: “Special guy, special player. At this point in time, I don’t think it’s in our best interest to tip off what we’re thinking as it relates to him, but he’s one heck of a guy.”

Signing Lecavalier would appear to go against the club’s statement of not wanting players past their prime. But the former Lightning GM said, “I don’t know if I’d put the post-apex definition on him at this time.”

On John Tortorella being hired by the Vancouver Canucks as head coach, Feaster — who worked with Tortorella in Tampa Bay, Feaster pointed out Canucks GM Mike Gillis asked him about Tortorella and added: “I think the world of him. I think it’s going to be a lot of fun. I know he’s promising to be a kinder and gentler John Tortorella, and just to be able to see if he can do that will be a lot of fun to watch.”

Edwards named to order

Flames co-owner Murray Edwards could use some good news these days and received some Friday with word he will be named a member of the Order of Canada. Edwards, who is chairman of the board of Canadian Natural Resources Ltd. and has a hand in other companies, including the ski hills as part of the Resorts of the Canadian Rockies, has been lauded for his contributions as an entrepreneur and as a philanthropist.
